In the evening, the cuckoo and his party embarked on the return journey.

The cuckoo sisters' bamboo baskets were filled with tea leaves, and they also carried wild ducks, pheasants and other things in their hands; Lin Chun and Jiu'er carried a deer by themselves, and Dongsheng was also covered with game; There are many snakes tied to the back of the wind, and there are some rare small animals.

The place they went to today was already deep in the mountains and old forests, and naturally they couldn't pick tea leaves, which was not worth it.

Therefore, when they came back, they were even more tired than when they went, and Huang Li and Dongsheng didn't even have the strength to scream.

When the sky was dark, Ren Sanhe suddenly flashed out of the forest.

"Little uncle!"

Huang Li was so excited that he immediately wanted to untie the things on his body.

Ren Sanhe glanced at her and said, "Seeing that you are usually very persevering, you can't stand it?" You didn't carry much either. I'm going to give you a little more weight. If you don't lay a solid foundation, how do you learn the back? ”

Huang Li hurriedly shouted, "I'm fine. Not tired at all. But little uncle, you better not add weight, let me go step by step. Once it exhausted me, I couldn't get up. ”

Cuckoo and the others all laughed.

Lin Chun looked at the master and didn't ask him why he was here.

In fact, he and Jiu'er had long found out that the master had been following them. Over the years, he has also discovered a phenomenon: once the cuckoo goes farther, the master will either follow him himself, or let him and Jiu'er accompany him. When they were accompanied, the master was not at ease, and often followed in secret.

He hadn't thought about it that much before, but lately he had become more and more confused.

But he couldn't think of the reason inside.

The master will not do this to the yellow finch and the yellow bird.

Ren Sanhe motioned to the cuckoo to give him the wild things in his hand.

As a result, the cuckoo handed over one thing after another: one on his shoulder, one on his waist. The one that was carried in his hand even had a cloth strap hanging diagonally around his neck. When he untied it, he looked cautious, "This is a wild duck egg." Be careful not to break it. ”

Ren Sanhe's face darkened. "What are you doing with this?" It's not that there are no eggs at home. And this mallard, why did you shoot so much? Don't have enough of eating red golden chicken every day? ”

The cuckoo laughed: "We had a lot of luck today and found a lot of wild ducks by the side of a mountain pond in a valley. Uncle, do you think I can still have itchy hands? This stew is delicious. There are so many duck eggs, and it won't be good if you don't pick them up......"

She had a tone of "don't pick up for nothing, don't pick up", which made Lin Chun and the others laugh.

The cuckoo is also helpless, and he is used to living a thrifty life.

I didn't have the ability before, so I could only pick and get by; Now she has the ability to go up to the mountains to hunt, this stretching mountain seems to be a natural breeding ground, she can't hunt deer, roe deer and other big prey. When you meet these delicious little animals, you are willing to let them go!

Ren Sanhe looked at her and shook his head, and evened out the things in Huang Li and Dongsheng's hands, and then took them back.

As for Jiu'er and Lin Chun, he didn't worry about it at all.

With him in front, the children didn't dare to slack off and ran desperately.

When I returned to the village for a while, the moon was already hanging high.

Guixiang heard the sound of the wind and immediately rushed out from the Lin family to meet them.

I saw Jiu'er's tall figure. She didn't know why her nose was sore, and she cried out in a crying voice: "Cuckoo! ”

obviously wanted to shout Jiu'er, but as soon as he said it, he became a "cuckoo".

Du Juan Qi said: "Guixiang, why are you here?" ”

Guixiang didn't answer. But he asked: "Du Juan, why don't you call me when you go to pinch the tea leaves?" She stared at her. It's like asking about something big.

Without waiting for the cuckoo to answer, Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Sister Guixiang." It's a shame you didn't go. I regret going. My, so far away! I almost broke both legs. Sister Guixiang is going. We may not be there yet. ”

"So far?"

Guixiang was surprised.

Huang Li continued: "No. Second sister, don't call me next time for such a long journey, I really can't stand it. When he turned his head and saw that Huang Laoshi was also coming, he hurriedly said, "Dad! I'm dying of exhaustion! ”

Huang Laoshi hurriedly came over and took off the bamboo basket on her back.

Huang Li let him do it himself, and she didn't even have the strength to side her shoulder.

Huang Laoshi came over again and took off the basket on the cuckoo's body.

Cuckoo was amused by her sister.

Although she was tired, she was not so exaggerated.

After all the things on her body were removed, she took Guixiang's hand and said, "I told Jiu'er on the way, fortunately you didn't go, otherwise you would be tired to death." Jiu'er said that he didn't dare to tell you, because he was afraid that you would clamoring to go. He was really prescient. If you really want to go, I'm afraid you'll have to carry it on his back on the way back. ”

"Really?"

Guixiang used the moonlight to try her best to identify the cuckoo's expression.

found that it was no different from usual, and went to see Jiu'er again.

Jiu'er was afraid that she would lose her temper, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Guixiang, I caught a bird for you." Look, how beautiful this coat is! There was a hint of coaxing in his tone, and he pulled out of the bag a bird with a red head and feathers tied to its feet and handed it to her.

Guixiang took it, a little crazy.

She suffered for a day, but when she came, she found that she seemed to be looking for unhappiness, but in fact, there was nothing at all, the cuckoo was still the same as before, and Jiu'er's brother was the same as before......

When they came to the door of their homes, many people poured out of the Lin family's courtyard and the Huang family's courtyard.

Lin Datou and Xia Sheng worked together to lift the deer off Lin Chun's shoulder; The eldest aunt asked Lin Chun distressedly if he was tired, saying that Xiaolian had already boiled the water, and asked him to hurry up and take a bath, and wait for the next meal, which was even more earnest than his mother.

Feng and his sister-in-law Feng Mingying took Ren Yuanming and Ren Yuanqing to surround the cuckoo sisters and ask this and that, and Ren Sanhe had already brought all the game into the Huang family's yard.

Lin Datou left Jiu'er and Guixiang to have dinner at Lin's house.

Jiu'er hurriedly shook his head, saying that the family was worried about it, and he wanted to go back quickly, and said to Guixiang: "Let's go, let's go home too." ”

Guixiang listened to the heat in her eyes, and her heart was relieved, so she obediently went to pick up the wild duck in Jiu'er's hand.

Jiu'er stepped aside and said, "I'm still carrying it, it's not far away." Save yourself from getting your hands dirty. As he walked, he asked her why she had come.

Guixiang was full of worries, and she only wanted to see how much tea they picked.

The brother and sister talked and walked away.

The cuckoo went home. Looking at a large number of colorful wild meat spread out under the eaves of the porch, I couldn't help but smack my tongue: "So much!" ”

Ren Sanhe couldn't cry or laugh. Said: "You only know the way? ”

The cuckoo said embarrassedly, "I didn't think it when I carried it." ”

Huang Li showed his hand to his father and aunt, and said, "It's all broken." But there are so many birds in that place. I really can't afford to leave it behind. There are so many eggs that we can't fit in our bags! ”

While calling tired, he said with his eyebrows dancing, obviously "I forgot the pain after the scar", forgot the tiredness, and only remembered the interesting experience.

The two families had dinner together, and Ren Sanhe's family left.

After the meal, Feng washed the dishes, and the cuckoo sisters stirred tea overnight.

A few years down. The cuckoo and the yellow finch have already fried tea at a considerable level, and she has put a lot of effort into it.

In order to stir up tea, another stove was set up in the kitchen.

The tea leaves picked today are all one bud and two leaves, the leaves are tender green, white and green, and the quality is quite high. The cuckoo and the yellow finch start at the same time, only a small amount of tea leaves are placed in each pot, fried green, kneaded, and then slowly dried. Discreet and meticulous. The oriole burns a fire underneath.

This night, Lin Chun's seemed to be a little longer than usual.

The sound of the flute continued to echo in the night sky, making the cuckoo, who was preoccupied with standing by the pot, feel a little more relaxed, less tired and restless.

This busy. It's all night.

Early the next morning, the cuckoo did not go to practice. But it was estimated that when they were about to finish their practice, they went to my aunt's house with the freshly fried tea leaves. Personally use a charcoal stove to boil water and make tea, and invite Ren Sanhe and Lin Chunjiuer to taste it.

After the new tea is brewed. The soup is clear green in color and fragrant.

Ren Sanhe doesn't need to say it. Lin Chun felt the most keen, only tasted it, his eyes lit up, and said that this tea has the elegant aroma of bamboo, and the taste is sweet, which is different from the tea he drank in the past.

Cuckoo smiled: "I feel the same way. Is it because there are many bamboos on the mountain? I'm afraid that the water also has something to do with it, and the water I used was brought back yesterday, from the spring from the mountain. ”

Yesterday, after drinking the water they had brought with them, they saw that the spring water on the mountain was very clear and sweet, so they filled all the bamboo tubes. The cuckoo pretended to be there again when he left, and when he came back, he had some left. Because I wanted to invite them to taste tea, I had an idea, so I used this water.

Ren Sanhe groaned: "It makes sense. ”

Jiu'er smashed his mouth twice and said, "Sweet!" Cuckoo, you try another kind of water. ”

Lin Chun hurriedly went to change the water and reburn.

Here, Du Juan discussed with Ren Sanhe: "Little uncle, I want to go to the high-end market for this tea, that is, to sell it at a high price." I wasn't good at my craft before, but this year I'm sure. This tea has a unique taste, and because it is already scarce, it will definitely sell for a high price. ”

Ren Sanhe asked, "How much did you get in total?" ”

Du Juan said: "It's only two catties." If you pick it again in two days, you will get two or three catties at most. It will not be enough to pick it later. ”

Ren Sanhe asked again: "What price do you want to sell?" ”

The cuckoo calculated in his heart and said, "One hundred taels of silver a catty." ”

Ren Sanhe looked at her and asked, "So much?" ”

The cuckoo hurriedly said, "This is not high. Little uncle, this tea ......"

Ren Sanhe interrupted her words and said in an unquestionable tone: "One thousand taels of silver a catty!" ”

"Poof!"

"Ahem......"

Du Juan and Jiu'er choked together, and Lin Chun, who was squatting next to the charcoal stove and fanning the fire, also grew his mouth, revealing an incredible look on his face.

Ren Sanhe said coldly: "Just sell it at this price!" That's even less. It's not that you have the money to be qualified to drink this tea. ”

Seeing that his face suddenly sank, the cuckoo seemed to understand a little, as if her life experience was involved again.

Alas, no matter what her original identity was, she is now a village girl!

As long as she has money to buy it, she will sell it, and whoever drinks it will drink.

But she couldn't tell the truth, so she had to go with him, and sell more and better.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly there was a terrible scream in front of him, it was a woman's voice, as if it came from the Lin family, with an angry tiger roar.

Lin Chun immediately jumped up and rolled out like the wind.

Jiu'er shouted: "It's biting like the wind!" ”

also hurried after him.

The cuckoo was startled, and he didn't care about tea or not, and said, "I'll take a look." ”

followed Jiu'er and ran away.

Ren Sanhe also got up and went.

At the door of the west chamber of the Lin family, the hair is standing like the wind, and the tiger is eyeing it.

On the opposite side of it, Lin Datou, Qiusheng and others were on guard and trembling to confront it, and the big-headed daughter-in-law and Xiaofang were holding Xiaolian, who was trembling and almost unstable and about to fall.

After Lin Chun arrived, he calmed Rufeng, and then asked for the reason. (To be continued......)
